NPH CALLED FAMED SOAP ACTOR "A D-BAG!"

Eric Braeden, 69, the CBS soap actor "canceled a cameo appearance" on How I met Your Mother, causing Barney to awesomely refer to him as used condom.

"The actor, (Robin's dad), agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed,
saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough," NPH said through his twitter account, "to more than 1 million followers. We've recast with Ray Wise, a
fantastic actor who makes any part 'substantial.' Super excited to
welcome him to the family!"

However Braeden stated, he left abruptly when he found out his part had been cut "just before the taping, which he deemed unreasonable as he is currently recovering
from hip surgery."

He was so exhausted from recovery that, "I was not about appear on a show for two lines, because that's what it amounted to." Braeden whent so far as to call the openly gay acTOR was being "overdramatic."

"His choice of words bothered me. It seems to me like a young
whippersnapper, having seen himself on a few covers, who's received a
few awards, is now suddenly suffering from the first signs of hubris,"
Braeden explained.

After Harris was briefed on Braeden's recent surgery, he maned up and apologized
via Twitter, to end the feud before futher escalatation.

"Now I feel bad for the D-bag comment. Don't know the guy personally,"
Harris typed. "I'm just fiercely protective of our show."
